Jon Gruden's high-school age son speculated today that his dad could wind up in either Cleveland or San Francisco after one more year with ESPN.CLEVELAND -- Out of the mouths of babes.
ESPN analyst Jon Gruden's high-school age son, Jon "Deuce'' Gruden II, speculates that his dad could win up coaching the Browns after another year at ESPN.
During a podcast today on the Sporting Rave, the high school football player in Tampa revealed that his dad could wind up coaching either the Browns or the 49ers after another year in the booth.
"He was gonna let me finish high school,'' said Gruden II. "He was talking about going to San Francisco, but that’s really probably going to be in the next two years or something like that.
“He’ll probably keep the Monday Night Football job for the next year, my last year of high school, and then probably head out to a team like San Francisco or maybe Cleveland.”
Gruden, of course, was an assistant on Browns President Mike Holmgren's staff in Green Bay, and the two remain close. In fact, Gruden highly recommended that Holmgren draft quarterback Colt McCoy, whom some say would be best suited to the West Coast style of Holmgren and Gruden.
Gruden, a Sandusky native, has been a Browns fan ever since he was young. Holmgren said after the bye week that he'll evaluate the current coaching staff after this season.
